It's certainly not worth arguing about, but that seller's response was ridiculous. Come on now!!

Anyway, I noticed a little, subtle and interesting something about the Rose card.
A bit of the bottom left part of the stem (gotta love typography terminology) in the 'R' of "REDS" is missing (most likely an error during layout). Said stem doesn't go straight down, as it angles inward nearing the bottom.

After looking at a ton of them on eBay, etc., they all seem to have that same flaw. Wonder if there are any out there where that 'R' is full??

Here's a comp with another Reds card from that year with a 'perfect' 'R'...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
